The airport taxis have a fixed rate but they are legally required to use their meters. The meter rate is inevitably less than the fixed rate. However, dealing with a seriously stroppy taxi driver at the start of a visit puts the dampers on things.

The fixed rate is €65, the meter rate around €10 less, depending upon traffic and the private hire rate another €10 less.

When I travel alone, I usually use the bus - around €7 from the airport via Kalamata to Stoupa.

I hate been ripped off by taxi drivers, Worldwide. As much as I hate UK airports.

We booked a taxi through Stefan, excellent service, had a 2 1/2hr delay, driver waiting for us on arrival, thought the price was good value for four people with cases and two drop offs, would definately use again.
